Tony Pierog Trophy Rules for 2009/10 season.
The scoring system for the Tony Pierog Fair Play Trophy has never been witten down and the trophy rules have been at the discretion of the General Secretary since its inception. Usually it has been based on cautions and sendiings off and referees committee appearances but this year other things such as late results etc. have been taken into account.
To make the system totally transparent the rules need to be added to the constitution. The following proposal was accepted by the member teams at the 2009 AGM and will be in force for the 2009/10 season onwards.
Points System for Fair Play Trophy
Caution 1 point
Sending off 1 point per game suspension related to sending off offence
Player reaches 4 Cautions 2 points
Player reaches 8 Cautions 4 points
Player reaches 12 Cautions 6 points
Dated Suspension 1 point per week (Maximum 50 points per offence)
Referee committee committee
citation that is upheld 5 points
Minor rule infringements
(late results, failure to
attend meetings etc.) 1 point per £1 fined
